    Mos Def's verse on Thieves in the Night.:eek:

    Yo, I'm sure that everbody out listenin agree
    That everything you see ain't really how it be
    A lot of jokers out runnin in place, chasin the style
    Be a lot goin on beneath the empty smile
    Most cats in my area be lovin the hysteria
    Synthesized surface conceals the interior
    America, land of opportunity, mirages and camoflauges
    More than usually -- speakin loudly, sayin nothin
    You confusin me, you losin me
    Your game is twisted, want me enlisted -- in your usary
    Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly
    Buffoonishly accept the deception, believe the perception
    Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin glass
    Walkin the street, wonderin who they be lookin past
    Lookin gassed with them imported designer shades on
    Stars shine bright, but the light -- rarely stays on
    Same song, just remixed, different arrangement
    Put you on a yacht but they won't call it a slaveship
    Strangeness, you don't control this, you barely hold this
    Screamin brand new, when they just sanitized the old ****
    Suppose it's, just another clever Jedi mind trick
    That they been runnin across stars through all the time with
    I find it's distressin, there's never no in-between
    We either niggaz or Kings
    We either bitches or Queens
    The deadly ritual seems immersed, in the perverse
    Full of short attention spans, short tempers, and short skirts
    Long barrel automatics released in short bursts
    The length of black life is treated with short worth
    Get yours first, them other niggaz secondary
    That type of illin that be fillin up the cemetary
    This life is temporary but the soul is eternal
    Separate the real from the lie, let me learn you
    Not strong, only aggressive, cause the power ain't directed
    That's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive
    Not free, we only licensed
    Not live, we just excitin
    Cause the captors.. own the masters.. to what we writin
    Not compassionate, only polite, we well trained
    Our sincerity's rehearsed in stage, it's just a game
    Not good, but well behaved cause the ca-me-ra survey
    most of the things that we think, do, or say
    We chasin after death just to call ourselves brave
    But everyday, next man meet with the grave
    I give a damn if any fan recall my legacy
    I'm tryin to live life in the sight of God's memory
    Like that y'all

    Mobb Deep-Shook Ones2

    [Prodigy]
    I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous
    you heard of us
    official Queensbridge murderers
    the Mobb comes equipped with warfare, beware
    of my crime family who got nuff shots to share
    for all of those who wanna profile and pose
    rock you in your face, stab your brain wit' your nosebone
    you all alone in these streets, cousin
    every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin'
    and keep them shook crews runnin'
    like they supposed to
    they come around but they never come close to
    I can see it inside your face
    you're in the wrong place
    cowards like you just get they're whole body laced up
    with bullet holes and such
    speak the wrong words man and you will get touched
    you can put your whole army against my team and
    I guarantee you it'll be your very last time breathin'
    your simple words just don't move me
    you're minor, we're major
    you all up in the game and don't deserve to be a player
    don't make me have to call your name out
    your crew is featherweight
    my gunshots'll make you levitate
    I'm only nineteen but my mind is old
    and when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold
    another nigga deceased, another story gets told
    it ain't nothin' really
    hey, yo dun spark the Phillie
    so I can get my mind off these yellowbacked niggas
    why they still alive I don't know, go figure
    meanwhile back in Queens the realness is foundation
    if I die I couldn't choose a better location
    when the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation
    getting closer to God in a tight situation
    now, take these words home and think it through
    or the next rhyme I write might be about you

    Chorus:
    Son, they shook...
    'cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
    scared to death, scared to look
    they shook
    'cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
    scared to death, scared to look

    livin' the live that of diamonds and guns
    there's numerous ways you can choose to earn funds...earn funds
    some of 'em get shot, locked down and turn nuns
    cowardly hearts end straight up shook ones...shook ones
    he ain't a crook son, he's just a shook one...shook one

    Now if a bad bitch wants dick, then its dick I give her
    Ludacris nigga, I stand and deliver
    Neva back down, won't shake nor shiver
    **** with me and get found in the Chattahoochee River
    This 7 inch shank, will put a stop to his ticker
    But shoties to the body make him drop much quicker
    Yeah I appear to be a nice lil nigga
    **** with anything I love, I'm a stone cold killa
    Eating off of 'Sace (versace), sleeping on chinchilla
    8 figga nigga, I'm a multi milla
    See me in the street, it can't get no realer
    Giving back to my hood with a pocket full of scrilla
    My neighbors say my house can't get no bigga
    I do good ass bidness, with a bad ass temper
    Please tell ya bitch, stop playing with my zipper
    Or I'll Brrrrddd Stick Her HaHaHa Stick HER!

    not quite "rap" but from a Beenie Man tune, forget the name of it, its class anyway....

    "she want a man fi put her in a trance
    a man fi roughly turn her round and make she belly dance
    rude bwoy lovin with an ickle romance
    she want fi get wild but she never had a chance
    she said she never had it so deep
    so right now i'm the man she definitely wanna keep
    her ex boyfriend used to come and drop asleep
    thats when me pager start beep"

    and then, after the chorus:::

    you hearrrrd,
    what she preferrrrred,
    she want a man who makes she fly like a birrrrd
    she want a real man she dont want a nerrrrd,
    she want him give her it good mark me worrrrrd,
    i'm not a perv,
    but i'm assured,
    she want to rock an hour long till it hurts
    her ex boyfriend he ain't got the nerve,
    she call the waiter but she not get served"

    Rakim on "Don't Sweat The Technique"

    "They wanna know how many rhymes have I ripped in rep up, but
    Researchers never found all the pieces yet
    Scientists try to solve the context
    Philosophers are wondering what's next
    Pieces are took to last who observe them
    They couldn't absorb them, they didn't deserve them
    My ideas are only for the audience's ears

    For my opponents, it might take years
    Pencils and pens, are swords
    Letters put together form a key to chords
    I'm also a sculpture, born with structure
    Because of my culture, I'm a rip and destruct the
    Difficult styles that'll be for the technology
    Complete sights and new heights after I get deep
    You don't have to speak just seek -

    And peep the technique "

    The Militia:Verse Three: Freddie Foxxx

    You niggaz owe me for my rhymes, I come to collect
    For you dope fiend niggaz in rap, I here to inject, check
    My style is water baby, spread it around
    But when you niggaz don't flow it right and **** up my sound
    I get down; in '89 I spit the buck in the face
    of every MC that came in the place, a scar you'll never erase
    MC's are only recognized for their flows
    I'm worldwide for the bitches, that I turned into hoes
    You heard me spit it on Jew-elz, that's how it goes
    For all them faking ass niggaz and how I bust up they nose
    And while your, nose is drippin, and drainin blood
    I be standing over you screamin, "Nigga, WHAT, WHAT?! Nigga WHAT?!"
    Niggas feel my presence, like I'm right in they palm
    Cause a stormy day is coming, when you see me so calm, it's on
    No more twin glocks, they jam up my plays
    Now its twin .40 calibre Walther PPK's
    I'm in the control of my game, you must respect me like The Ref
    Uh-huh, you disrespect *gun clicks* you get the tech
    I turn you fake niggaz on and off, like I'm the clapper
    I rob so many niggaz, they should call me Jack the Rapper
    I'll the illest nigga doing this, dead or alive
    Gloria Gaynor on you mother****ers, I Will Survive
    You can try to come at me, but do you want the kick back?
    You snap inside the cage of a pit, and you get bit back, huh
    My war is so tight, my drama so ill
    Beef with me hangs around like a unpaid bill
    I push these lyrics through any MC, and make it burn
    So the niggaz who be rhyming next, will miss a turn
    When you speak of who's the dopest MC, I don't come up
    But when you speak of who's the livest MC, I stay what up, what's up?
    I got stripes while you got strikes and bogus mikes
    Do what bitch niggaz do best *UTFO sample* bite
    You niggaz can't make up a law that I don't overrule, overthrow
    Prim' brought Bumpy these tracks so I can let you know
    Before I slide I'ma leave you this jewel
    Even mechanics walk around with they tools
    It's the Militia


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 905 ✭✭✭Ay Cee


    Good one Seaneh. Great verse by Bumpy.

    Some of my favourite lines ever are his two about Noreaga.
    "I'm sick and tired of NORE and his what, what, what,
    Write some rhymes nigga or give this **** up, up, up."

    So simple but it says so much :)

    Viktor Vaugn (Mf Doom) - Vaudeville Villain

    V. Vaughn, the traveling Vaudeville Villain
    Who don't give a flying f uck who ain't not feeling him
    Watch what ya' dealing him: ace, king, death card
    Strong-arm the wrong man, pardon the left, god
    Get money and earn it, then everything you touch turn $hit
    Got much to learn kid, light it up burn $hit
    Light it up like the Dutch when the hash melt
    Only time they see him is when they need him with the cash belt
    Ay carumba, now that's my number
    One dry summer, as far as I remember
    Burnt out, but gaining every edgy penny
    Then he hit him straight to the head like Reggie Denny
    Call him back when you need some more 'gnac, horse-yak
    Doing 80 down the Van Wyck on horseback
    Ya' man sick but he wreck tracks, puto
    Get back too bro', exactamundo
    Viktor the director flip a script like Rob Reiner
    The way a lotta dudes rhyme their name should be "knob shiner"
    For a buck, they'd likely dance the Jig or do the Hucklebuck
    To Vik it's no big deal, they're just a buncha knuckle-f ucks
    You wonder how well would they hold up in a holding cell
    It sorta had the strange makings of a tale told in hell
    Like "Oh well," hold tall riches
    If the Feds is really after him they'll just tell all the snitches
    On borrowed-time rhymes, gassed by the silver screen
    They cat like their monkey ass can heal back like Wolverine
    Mellow out what y'all bellow out ya' yellow mouth
    What happened to the kinda spit that used to help a fellow out?
    No doubt, leave a rapper in a body cast
    And wonder what he was doing while we was in a karate class
    Snotty ass, it's really like he was a white-belt
    Right before he "night-night" ask him how the light felt
    I wouldn't take their tape if they gave it free
    Maybe it's me, maybe it's V!
    Throw down the key, y'all know how $hit be
    In the naked city, rappers is so giddy
    That's no ditty, Vaughn so witty
    The way he take no prisoners and show no pity
    It's how son became a big man from a Black boy
    To name names, a really big fan of Dan Akroyd
    He feel they need to give him his own dance
    This his only chance to shoot the gift like a lone glance
    Or like a beef scene that leave the oo-ey smoking
    Or between Hoktuo Shinken and Nanto Koukakuken


    and Hey! (Mf Doom):

    I only play the games that I win at
    And stay the same with more rhymes than there's ways to skin cats
    As a matter of fact, let me rephrase
    With more rhymes and more ways to fillet felines these days
    Watch the path of the black one
    Supervillian he wrecks clubs for dell
    In a drunken stupor chillin
    Ready and willin to inadvertantly foil that plan of any rhymer, whiner or
    spoiled brat
    Who got more snottier flows than snotty nose?
    And holds mics like he knows karate body blows
    Nobody knows the trouble I see
    from the MPB fly dirty tailin the eye bubble eye thirty
    For the record this is some $hit I just thought of y'all
    Science fiction that's not admissable in no court of law
    I live to rock mics 3-D
    The only reason I seek to stop to snuff the TV
    I heard beats, they sound like karaoke
    With monkey rhymers on a leash like don't have this fairy choke me
    Hit 'em with a penny so we can get these peanuts
    And I thought we was nuts, I used to get free cuts
    They locks Lex Luthor up in green haven
    Since then a nigga never really been too clean shaven
    Misbehavin rap stars need mistament
    Call me Mista Bent
    I'm at where your sister went
    Intelligent, used to write and be well spoke
    Now all a nigga wanna do is fight and sell, tell a joke
    This could lead to catastrophe
    Bout to stop the violence right after these last three shots from the black
    bat got me at headlock
    Holdin on to sanity while stranded at dreadlock
    She told me get off I said
    Bitch, let me set this $hit off so I could get rich right quick
    Then it hit me like the point of intoxication
    Nigga come out and rock this nation like oxifacen
    A lot of niggas out is rusty like oxidation
    In the world's most strangest most dangerous occupation
    But you could do it, you the Super like in your building
    Villian like trife kingdom wear and all my children
    Plottin and it sure to pay ends
    With some more mature womens and more of they friends
    And when bad men roll tight, it's actual true
    Like a pack of big bamboo with natural glue
    Who grip necks of becks next to triple X
    He just came before D followed the ripple effects
    And it'll lead you right to him
    Oh snap, it seems you walked into a trap do wrap
    Zoinks, this place is filled with pretender willies
    One false move and get broke off like end of phillies
    True believers ain't nothin new to a
    Crook with special powers like how to tell the future uh uh
    Rhyme of the month two page long
    Bustin off two gages with my cake gone wrong
    Son it's on remind me of a Raekwon tape song
    With a fleet of super bad status Rae Dawn Chong
    Let me know if y'alls with me y'all
    Nasty yo and geographic down to the titty bar
    Rap monster outer city y'all
    To all my brothers who is doin' unsettling bids
    You could have got away with it if it was not for them meddling kids

    wanted to add these aswell, from Playin Yaself - Jeru tha Damaja:

    Verse One:

    Now, I don't push a Lex
    Others had their turn to flex, Jeru is up next
    All, these so called players up in the rap game
    Got brothers on the corner selling cooked cocaine
    It used to be LaToya and, jim hats
    But now it's uzis macs and, g-packs of cracks
    Everybody's psycho or some type of goodfellow
    But me I keep it real that's all swine like jello
    Don't drink Cristal, and I can't stand Mo
    Never received currency for moving a kilo
    Or an ounce, make em bounce to this fake-pimp free flow
    I never knew hustlers, confessed in stereo
    Or on video get caught you'll know who turned State's
    Evidence, murder weapon, confession and fingerprints
    Mama always said watch what comes out your mouth
    Tight case for the DA from here to down South
    Knowledge wisdom understanding like King Solomon's wealth
    You're a player but only because you be playin yourself

    Verse Two:

    Now these ladies is lookin pretty from city to city
    I refined a few I met, around the country
    The nitty gritty, it's all reality, no question
    Actual fact like tight jeans cause yeast infections
    And sisters with good minds, get no respect when
    Their ass is all hangin out, playin the bar section
    of the club shake what your mama gave ya, back to the lab
    I drop the truth, cause rhyming is more than just my craft
    Or a way to get ass, or fast cash, or blasted
    Black women, make sure you're respected
    When niggaz is kickin that old off the wall $hit, let em know
    from jump: "Dead it", you're not ignorant
    Knowledge wisdom understanding is the key to wealth
    Put some clothes on that ass if you respect yourself


    Verse Three:

    Now, I don't bust a tec, bubble drugs
    in the projects, or use mics to sell sex
    Niggaz, nowadays is all about this
    So much ying yang, it's ridiculous
    If you got so much cheese where are the black distributors
    And these record companies shake em down like mobsters
    But impostors, like commercial locks are not rastas
    Always fakin moves, never, makin moves
    Asses shake, bottles pop, the government is breakin down
    you fools, you work all week and give the devil back his loot
    for jewels, and the steak on your plate is filled
    with chemicals, still, brothers leave brothers
    all battered and bruised, on the streets
    Won't see snakes on my feet
    The race is on, but I won't compete
    In this competition, because I have a greater mission
    I hope that you listen
    Knowledge wisdom and understanding brings, long life
    and health, think anything else and ya playin yaself

    I love Jay-z's in Diamonds remix

    Yup, I got it from here, K, damn.
    The chain, the man, the game is intact
    The name is mine I'll take the blame for that.
    The pressure is on, but guess who ain't gona crack
    Hahaha.
    Pardon me, I had to laugh at that!
    How could you falter, when you the rock of Gibraltar
    I had to get off the boat, so I could walk on water.
    This ain't no tall order, this is nuffn to me.
    Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week.
    I do this in my sleep. I sell kilos of coke.
    I'm guessin' I can sell CDs
    I'm not a business man, I'm a business, maan.
    And I handle my business, damn!
    Kanyezey, you got me. Freeway, then Foxy.
    Wykeeze, Teairra Mari, Peedi watch me.
    Bleek could be one hit away his whole career.
    As long as I'm alive, he's a millionaire.
    And even if I die, he's in my will somewhere.
    So he could just kick back and chill somewhere
    Oh yeah, he don't even have to write rhymes.
    The dynasty like my money last three lifetimes.
    Shirley Bassey in the wear sayin exactly
    what I've been saying practically my whole career.
    A diamond is forever and I'll be mining this forever
    And now the Louis Vuitton Don coming, couldn't be better.
    People lined up to see the Titanic sinking
    Instead, we rose from the ashes like a phoenix.
    If you waitin' for the end of this dynasty sign,
    It'll seem like forever is a mighty long time.

    I can't hear this song enough

    Holy Smokes by Aesop Rock...

    Well they were selfish with the helmets on the little bus 'til break fluid sewage crippled up the get retarded nickle punks. Slowly cope, but swore his lowly robot foley folk would one day rise in sections to interrogate the Holy Ghost. Holy smokes, father, black suit, white collar, kiddy porn dungeon, guns and 3 fingers for your daughters caught belly up. Antique Nazi paraphernalia. You cannot pay your bills with holy water and Hail Mary luck. Shucks, ****er, enjoy the Alcatraz shower fun and Mommy's mad I'm cliche generation X agnostic fron. It ain't the nifty faith of 1958 before the new new testament approved altar boy fisting rape and take me to your leader, long as he don't manipulate toddler beaver .Call me crazy but I'd bet that wasn't God's demeanor. Sodometere peaking. But Long Island was Jesus every weekend, spoon-fed to appease traditional upbringing of a middle Pennsylvania **** hole where elder's movement stressed a stellar therapeutic bible cycle. One church with a bait and tackle store next door and not much more. So the two moved to New York, made babies raised on what they'd saw. Christmas morning smelled fresher than angel pussy, but Immaculate Conception came second to playful goodies. Like Laser Tag as way more spiritual than blood and body wafer bags and manger staff as long as Santa ate the cookies. Grandma was a saint while he'd paint with snakes and bullies, said "If only you'd memorize your prayers like you did your Kool G." See by the time I's old enough to know what religion was, I's Catholicism numb and truly didn't give a ****. '94 moved out the crib and ain't seen a steple since, while Knievel evil seeps in the Christian leaders pitch. 'Til priest lap slapped with parental advisory warnings, I'll be auditioning gods in my office on Monday morning.

    Uh-oh, and yet another pill slip down the hatch. It patch him through the kill switch. I need a couple A's for Q's. I'm not an asshole, I'm just a little confused.

    Just a little bruised in the back of the pews, acting amused with a mask on them Vatican blues, for in the eyes of the organization I was raised in, Aes is just another sinning brick in hell's basement. Cubicle adjacent to the killers and rapists. For what? Drugs and ****ing part of growing up. Like cuffs over dumb **** is better than the schools. I'm not an asshole, I'm just a little confused. Just a lit fuse in the back of the pews watching a thousand flavors of the same God feud. I figure ultimate peace is the common theme, so it's a no-brainer peace when the blood hit the screen. I got a basic good and evil sensibility born. Good neighbor know a halo wouldn't fit over horns. I'm more science than faith, I'm more karma than bread and booze. I'm not an asshole, I'm just a little confused.

    Rap Game. I taught the Pig-Latin rap was very smart.

    I抦a get snuffed
    Cause I aint said enough to pipe down
    I pipe down when the white house is whipped out
    when I see that lil cheany dike get snipped out
    lights out bitch adios goodnight
    now put that in your lil pipe and bite down
    think for a minute cause the hype has died down
    that I wont go up in the oval office right now
    and flip whatever ain抰 tied down upside down
    I抦 all for America, **** the government
    tell that C. Doloris Tucker slut to suck a dick
    mutha ****er duck what the **** son of a bitch
    take away my gun and I抦 a tuck some other ****
    cant tell me **** about the tricks of this trade
    switch blade with a lil switch to switch blades
    switch from a 6 to a 16 inch blade
    ****s like a samurai sword a sensei
    **** just don抰 change to this day
    im this way still till I utslay itchbay
    ucksay my ickday
    scuse my igpay atinlay
    but uckfay a igpay

    MC Paul Barman "Bleeding Brain Grow"

    You'll probably read this and think its sh*t but i'll give my reasons after it.

    "Ma Origami Magi Roam,
    Eve,
    Mika Rza Evil JD Nasir is Osiris and J-Live AZ Rakim,
    Cormega Cage Mr OC,
    Im Anomie I Mon Ami"

    Sounds like gibberish mixed with a shout out to some rappers, but now read each line backwards and you'll see why I like it. Theres not any other rapper that could drop 5 palindromes (i know Eve is a bit of a cheap one) in a row in the middle of verse, especially combining the names of 9 different rappers for the 3rd one! I don't have it layed out properly so it doesn't look like it rhymes, but it does when its spaced properly.

    Barman is a quality MC, he looks like a complete geek, hes a skinny white jewish guy with thick curly hair. He was discovered by Prince Paul and has the seal of approval from the likes of MF Doom. He's not everyones cup of tea, but if you're looking for an alternative to the majority of Hip-Hop you're likely to hear you should check him out. He's had two releases, Paullelujah and It's Very Stimulating.

    lol at some of verses in this thread.:rolleyes:

    Nas killing it as usual.This was unreleased(half of his Best of is full of unreleased stuff frankly)and is in my opinion one of his very best tracks.Easily Illmatic quality.Think it was made during the Stillmatic sessions,might be wrong though.

    Nas-Star Wars

    For niggaz up in they mom's crib listenin
    To this unadulterated Nas **** wishin it was them
    Instead of, me on this track on this beach with palm trees
    Drinks with umbrellas straws telling it raw
    Jungle of concrete killers and snakes I was amongst that
    Bundles of crack through this funnel that's black
    I want you to vision through my telescope see the hell I wrote
    It's Reynolds when I Wrap it like a envelope package
    And they was into dope back then
    Numbers, pimpin and robbin, well they still robbin and pimpin
    But it's small change compared to hip hoppin
    And did I mention millions because of lip poppin
    Trips expensive gift shoppin whip drivin
    Benzes, Jeeps, see, them and they bitch got one
    It's shockin - you thinkin "naw it's just rhymin"
    But all this time it's like organized crimin
    For instance, there was a time when there was a line
    Between streets and business, but now peep how it's mixed in
    The beef is now sickenin, everybody got paper
    Words of power, because of it the cops hate ya
    The government watchin all of those who thuggin it
    They wanna lock us up cause they kids are lovin it
    Not knowin that most rappers are straight ass
    And shots ring out, whenever we clash it's Star Wars

    [Chorus]
    We call it Star Wars
    What happens when the shots ring out? It's called Star Wars
    We call it Star Wars

    [Verse 2]
    Caviar never, I rather the Cajun blacken
    Catfish no snails simple nigga to please
    Met a bad bitch dimples in her cheeks
    She remembers Busy B battles when it was peace
    Caught myself driftin in thought, cause now it's different I thought
    Niggaz was raised off the **** I record
    Like I was brought up off that Planet Rock
    Kurtis Blow, James Todd Smith, Shan and Scott LaRock in the jams
    Why would they **** with a don? Jehovah witness
    Him and his co-defendants, I eat 'em like Lucky Charms
    With two percent low fat milk, five percent pro black built

    It's nothin mother had him mother**** him
    I don't think about it niggaz talkin there's a lot of gossip
    That I'm a prophet or I can't go back to my projects
    Can I? Does a plant grow from a pot? yes
    Do trees grow from a forest MC's y'all are clitoris
    Y'all niggaz roll with any click that's winnin any crew
    Doin whatever's trendy, even envy me too
    Ain't enough room in this town
    What is beef between ghetto word spitters with crowns, Star Wars

    [Chorus]
    Cause this is Star Wars, shots ring out everywhere, Star Wars
    Cause this is Star Wars, shots ring out

    [Verse 3]
    This ain't, no Oscars or MTV or Joan Rivers fashion police
    Not what you read in tabloid sheets
    These are MC's that live by the code, it's hard for me to spit it
    Because the game was supposed to be sold we live it
    Came from the streets we the voice of the youth
    America's nightmare was given a the mic booth
    Nike boots, leathers and jean, jewelry, cribs and cars
    Rappers not dependin on your nine to five jobs
    Entertainment, this is our world this is our language
    Different regions speakin east and west gang ****
    You got your positive **** like, Common Sense
    But even he had drama with the Don Mega Cube
    Acknowledge the words get twisted at times it's rules
    What you think is different from the block whenever we feud
    **** your pictures and your plaques your tours and autographs
    Don't trust bitches and niggaz who tell you you're all of that
    Cause, they'll be in your enemies face, sayin it's safe
    To run in your release party sprayin the place
    Or catch you when you least on point, putting your keys in the door
    Behind you with your seeds in Kay Bee Toys store
    Maybe the words get disrespectful now your niggaz check you
    "You 'gon let that nigga play you? you know we 'gon rep you"
    Next mornin every news channel and front page
    Headlines: another rapper was slayed. this is Star Wars


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,460 ✭✭✭Orizio


    Very underated Stillmatic track.The beats are on some bizarre mid 90's G-Funk thing but the lyrics are insane.Your Da Man is the same;weakish beats,strong lyrics and flow.

    Nas-Smokin'

    [Verse One]
    Zoom, from outer space he comes
    Blunt in his mouth with his hand on his gun
    Bitches flappin they gums, do he be clappin and shootin guys
    Actor or a movie star, rapper revolutionized
    What is his race nation or creed?
    Is he Arabic, Black, Latin, Asian they read
    Magazines say I walked on water, talked to the heavens
    Spit at judges, stepped on peasants
    But in reality, I just entered your galaxy
    September '73, up in these wild streets
    ****in these wild freaks, a harem of hoes (God damn)
    And my mystique got 'em tearin my clothes


    [Chorus]

    [Verse Two]
    My nigga smoke with one lung
    If he cough he might die, passin me trees
    The liquor bottle's almost empty
    We about to collide, with the enemy
    Only way you die if it's meant to be
    You ****in with a general
    No discussion is the principle we bustin it's the end of you
    Now we knockin on your mama door
    Like we cam to fix the sink; my kind of war
    Death, angels comin for you
    Spirit horse runnin from your body like Young Guns 1 and 2
    Paramedics fightin for you, who's gon' win?
    The hands of time, or the hands of medicine
    Don't cry, witness your fate, this is your wake
    Walk by your casket, spit in your face
    Enter the fog dog, the light is your guide
    And when you're gone all your niggaz gon' light up with Nas

    [Chorus]

    [Verse Three]
    Pardon but I gotta question of life now
    Look at the nigga next to you right now
    Is he real, fake or scared
    Do it like this niggaz right hands in the air
    Ball it to a fist and put it over your heart
    Now let's say it all together let the ceremony start
    I shall - stay real, stay true, stay holdin figures
    Never put a bitch over my niggaz
    I shall never cooperate with the law
    Never snake me I always hold you down in war
    If they take one of mine, I take one of theirs
    I never break the oath to the death I swear
    I swear that's how we pledge alegiance, to the alliance
    of underworld's killers and thugs, though the science
    of a nigga still yet to be found
    So light up some green, and pass it around (just pass it around)

    "Lyrics" by A.L. on Lyricist Lounge Volume 1. Classic track (apologies in advance for any missprints of misspellings)

    Yo...
    Microphone yo... corazon yo...

    No doubt, lyrics, yo A.L., check it
    What you say son?

    Raw creation, my nation is trapped, packed like animals
    Hannibal canibals lurkin in streets which are flammable
    A rastless, hustler's aimin, for the intangible meat
    I'm too deep, checkin if beats are compatible
    Brain lit off shots, body counts become plural
    Hand me a mic, I paint a picture on your mural
    Vision of streets, summer's blood, when you need peroxide
    Never on the cop's side since my man's pops died
    Nuttin's correct to life it's lopside, and cockeyed
    I ain't Popeye, so I front hard, to make my glock hot
    Thoughts react to the impossible, kill the probable
    Constable obstacles, haunt me like my future in a hospital
    Until them days, my ways'll be unstoppable
    Undroppable, undodgeable, mainly focus illogical
    To know it to show it the poet'll grab the Moet
    I blow it before I flow it, topics I sew it pockets I dought it
    Legitimate cash is the only thing I cream
    So the knowledge I fiend, until I raise my seed
    Too much greed exceeds, leaves the next man to bleed
    Little kids don't read, they're out of touch with we
    So I proceed, to make you hear it, just to lead you
    with spirits of lyrics, cause I need you, I need you
    No doubt son

    Lyrics I need you, I breed you, I need you
    Lyrics... I need you, I breed you
    Lyrics... I need you... I breed you
    Lyrics... I need you, I breed you

    Check it
    I civilize the unwise when I rise to my potential
    The instrumental, enables me to move my pencil
    Coincidental, to Eintsein's radical mental
    Kickin **** like orientals far from gentle I'm essential
    When I speak it yo I leak it I freak it, until you peep it
    Gun clappers like creep and sneak it, rappers love to critique it
    Hey yo they honor us, like a foreigner with a genre
    Accounted for visualizing more bodies than a coroner
    My streets are evil, minds are feeble run illegal
    Livin savage like eagles chainin my people to a needle
    While my cerebral, blesses the mic like a cathedral
    Thoughts'll lead you verbals'll feed you to seed you I breed you
    to head you like psychics I came to read you hip-hop I love you
    and I need you rhythmatic automatic fanatic bringin the static
    Rappers they panic stay frantic, while I relax on hammocks
    Island gigantic volcanic, hard to find, like the Titanic
    I came to slam it, to hold it down like the granite
    Lyric mechanic organic from the Eastern Atlantic
    I run dynamic bendin rappers like they ceramic
    Throughout the planet I scampered the banner, that's how I ran it
    A genuflection goes out, to those in correction
    for recollection, I use the Common Sense Resurrection
    So use protection when you step in my direction
    Lyric injection, could cause infection in your section
    There's no reflection, in this professional selection
    Give mic inspections, so I can hold it with affection
    Beat perfection, carouse the mental in erection
    So vote perfection, House of Reps run elections son

    Lyrics I need you, I breed you, I need you
    Lyrics... I need you, I breed you
    Lyrics... I need you... I breed you
    Lyrics... I need you, I breed you

    House of Reps, KD, what?
    Yeah, you know the deal son, keep it real son
    You know the deal son, keep it real son
    with lyrics

    yeah, let's take 'em back
    Uh-huh..

    Comin up I was confused, my mommy kissin a girl
    Confusion occurs comin up in the cold world
    Daddy ain't around, probably out commitin felonies
    My favorite rapper used to sing, Check check out My Melody
    I wanna live good, so **** I sell dope
    Four-four finger ring, one of them gold ropes
    nana told me if I passed I'd get a sheepskin coat
    If I can move a few packs I'd get the hat, now that'd be dope
    Tossed and turned in my sleep that night
    Woke up the next mornin, niggaz had stole my bike
    Different day, same ****, ain't nuttin good in the hood
    I'd run away from this bitch and never come back if I could


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 905 ✭✭✭Ay Cee


    That's actually a DJ Honda track he appears on. Just checked it at home here. It's on the HII album. AL is on it with Ju Ju from The Beatnuts, Cuban Link and Missin' Linx

    Hands up who's in favour of me banning anyone that posts 50 lyrics in this thread?:D

    Two of the illest lyrically.

    Chino XL F/ Ras Kass-Riiiot!!!!!

    You prayed for me and I came! How far you niggaz wanna push me?
    I'm leaving the crowds happy like OJ Simpson when he got his first
    white pussy
    But I'm still annoyed blowin through your selenoid
    Bringing more Blues to Brothers than Jon Belushi and Dan Akroyd
    Governmently engineered like E Bola for this rap garage sale
    by this industry I'm trying not to get ****ed like 2Pac in jail
    You can hate me, but await me like I'm Magic Johnson's
    death in a box with Jordan's pops that ass'll never take another
    breath
    cuz, I write the songs like Barry Manilow
    I like my Sugar Brown like Hugh Grant ****ed D'Angelo
    Now I got niggaz claimin they saw God unfortunately
    He wasn't in the person of Master Farad Muhammad
    Some often ask how can this nigga molest the English alphabet
    in one hundred words or less it ain't the chronic
    It's all in the mind like Johnny Mmemonic
    Before my word is born, surgeons administer antibiotics
    to drain the phonics, amniotic fluids
    Delivery, to get Nia deep in your Peeples like Howard Hewett
    Half-Hitler, half-Jewish, I'm gassed off myself
    Icono-clismic, twisted without the use of fiber optics
    Noxious I blows out the sockets I got your Adam's Apples in my pockets
    Bull**** like Timmy McVey, like kiddie porn I'm getting popular
    Popular, no ocular, MC's perp particular
    but not quite yet perpendicular
    Compound fractures fibulas when niggaz step, contest the upper torso
    I got Chino's back like a dorsal, fin
    Comprehend, we bend men from within
    Chorus: Chino, Ras
    Your strength in numbers couldn't hit
    The yellow nigga from the Gravity click
    You don't give a **** as long as bud gets lit
    You're ****in with the HemiSidal lunatics
    Like licorice, niggaz begin to twist
    Lay back and watch your idols get ripped
    Yo signify if your crew roll thick
    (Yeah) East Coast (West Coast) beeeotch!!!
    Verse Two: Ras Kass, Chino XL
    I circumnavigate the globe with a one-liner like, latitude
    Put my rhymes in mixed fortune cookies to leave Confucious confused
    The day a nigga serve Ras is when faggots start straight bashing
    Without Jermaine Dupri I'm SoSoDef that I need closed captions
    Won't see me stressed from no East/West conflict
    the interest Chino X/Ras Kass like Layne Tito removed you from your
    bench
    My retina expands, my brain is trapped like a rat on a running wheel
    Praise the yellow God or I'ma leave you scarred like that nigga Seal
    Vernacular understandable, you in a hearse, megahertz, the truth hurts
    Slang botanical, you're moving on time-lapse camera
    Indestractable, dig me like an excavation multiracial valuable
    Take you out like Saafir took out Casual
    So check the milk that Jersey made
    I turn artistic children bilingual
    On parallel bars I create new dismounts like Chechincko
    So keep it short and sweet like Sherman Hemsley bonafide queer
    While I shoot **** up you're shooting gerbils up your asshole like
    Richard Gere
    Verse Three: Ras Kass, Chino XL
    Bitch ass niggaz what see?
    I gives a **** who's certified platinum or gold
    Cause I got rhymes for every unit you sold
    Your plaques corrode when I collage colloquials
    At first the buzz was local but now the nose grows like Pinnochio
    No lie, no T-H-C, T-H-E, T-H-O-U-G-H-T
    Makes me high in intelligence quotient
    I drop facts like attache
    Exfoliate rap and come cleaner than Jeru's enema
    What's the secret within my esophagus
    is discovered like Tutenkahmen's sarcophogous
    I got niggaz lookin for Webster's like George Papadopolous
    Yo Ras pardon me my unfamiliar soliloquies, similies
    similar to Reginald Denny's, facial injuries
    You couldn't locate my transient thoughts with lo-jack
    Molest your mind like Oprah Winfrey's behind when she was a small
    child
    Punchlines with more elasticity than Biggie's stretch marks
    Chino X sparks, mad urban
    I ain't scared to put the things that going around me
    on tape like Mark Fuhrman
    Sexing picture perfect hoes like Pocahontas often
    And I'd rather hear Willie Nelson than ****ing Montell Jordan!

    Honda is a pretty hot producer. I had H, the album before HII (strangely enough;) ). But i leant it to a guy i used to work with and never saw it again, the b*stard!!! Was an excellent album, thats just put it back in my head, might have to do a bit of searching for both of those albums. Cheers AC
